Your Role and Responsibilities

As a Sanctions Analyst, your success will stem from effective collaboration within your team and with external stakeholders regarding sanctions-related alerts, offering guidance on sanctions issues.

Reporting to the Sanctions Manager, the Sanctions Analyst, alongside fellow team members, will primarily focus on providing counsel on clients presenting elevated sanctions risks, managing escalated OFAC/Sanctions/Watchlist screening alerts from a secondary line perspective. You will also escalate potential Sanctions or Anti-Money Laundering (AML) risks identified during the monitoring process. Delivering precise and timely alert dispositions and justifications for all alerts escalated as confirmed matches is essential.

Responsibilities include verifying screening outcomes against client data in internal systems and cross-referencing with third-party open-source or vendor systems utilized by Rabobank Diversified Services. You will assist with various ad hoc projects as they arise and contribute to updating OFAC Sanctions procedures as necessary.

Key Responsibilities

  • Conduct advisory assessments to evaluate and mitigate sanctions risks for clients and prospects during onboarding, periodic, or event-driven reviews.
  • Proactively suggest additions to lists; removal of entries, tuning guidance, and record amendments.
  • Provide evaluations of client sanctions exposure for integration into Customer Due Diligence (CDD) and Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD) Management Insights.
  • Engage in research and analysis on sanctions language for new or modified credit agreements.
  • Deliver timely advice and guidance to relevant business units and stakeholders concerning sanctions-related matters.
  • Investigate and review complex investment deals, trade finance transactions, and escalations from various business lines.
  • Assist the Sanctions Manager in preparing materials for regulatory examinations and provide support during examination calls as required.
  • Document investigative steps taken and rationales for decisions made.
  • Review and investigate Politically Exposed Person (PEP) screening alerts from a secondary monitoring perspective using client screening systems, internal Customer Due Diligence systems, and third-party sources.
  • Escalate potential sanctions concerns to the Sanctions Manager and report any unusual activity from an AML standpoint.
  • Support the first line of review in designing and implementing relevant sanctions processes and contribute to training and development.
  • Assist in updating Sanctions Procedures. Address and remediate issues identified by Internal Audit, Compliance Testing Group, and Quality Control Team.
  • Facilitate Requests for Information (RFIs) with the Front Office in the investigation of sanctions or PEP cases when appropriate.
  • Review escalations related to trade finance deals and payments requiring OFAC general or specific licenses.
  • Create, update, and maintain case files documenting pertinent information used in investigations.
  • Assist in validating the Sanctions and PEP alert systems and participate in testing new releases or updates of current systems as necessary.
  • Conduct ad hoc training sessions for key stakeholders.
Your Commitment to Us:

To be considered for the Sanctions Analyst position, you should possess:
  • A minimum of 2 years of relevant sanctions experience.
  • The ability to collaborate effectively with regional and global partners across various functional units.
  • Experience utilizing automated monitoring tools.
  • Strong verbal and written communication capabilities.
